Give Me An Inch

(Robert Palmer)



Give me an inch, girl

Give me an inch, girl

Give me an inch, girl

Give me an inch, girl



My eyes show me more than I¡¯ve seen

But unlike my poor heart they¡¯re not cautious

I got to thinking love was a dream

Misunderstanding my fortunes

I should have taken more heed of my heart

Telling me how to live



But if you give me an inch, girl

I'll give you a mile

Oh, I¡¯ll make it all worth while

And I¡¯ll make you see

Just how much you mean to me



Well ain¡¯t it easy to go head-over-heels

When you need the right person

You got to learn to smile about it

Nothing you do will feel certain

Here I stand with my heart in command

And it¡¯s you I want to be with



Give me an inch, girl

I'm in need of you

Don't leave me in the cold

When I want to trust in you

Don't turn me away

Life can be a worry

When it's all work and no play



Give me an inch, girl

I¡¯ll give you a mile

Oh, I¡¯ll make it all worth while

And I¡¯ll make you see

Just how much

Just how much you mean to me

Give me an inch,

I'll give you a mile

And I'll make you see

Just how much, just how much you mean to me

Give me an inch, girl

Oh , I'm in need of you

Don't leave me in the cold

When I want to trust in you
